Write by hand. Understand what you've written. Every week, your journal reads itself back to you.
The Margin journal has a wide left margin — the literal space beside the words. Write your thoughts, intentions, and observations by hand each day. Handwriting processes differently than typing. That's the point.
Open the Margin app and add your entry — typed, by voice, or by photographing your handwritten pages. Four input modes, all leading to the same place: a complete record of your week.
Every Sunday, Margin reads your week and returns a personal synthesis — your wins, your obstacles, the patterns it noticed, and your one word for the week. Not a summary. A mirror.
Each day, a single question arrives — generated from what you've written, targeting something you circled but never addressed directly. Not generic. Specific to you.
Most journaling apps ask you to type into a phone. Margin starts with a physical journal — forest green cloth cover, cream paper, a wide left margin built into every page.
Every Sunday, Margin synthesises your entries and returns something personal — not a summary. Specific observations. Specific patterns. One word that captures the texture of your week.
The free tier shows your wins. Upgrade to Margin Reflect for the full picture — obstacles, patterns, actions, and personalised daily prompts.
